Kids strike silver

During the Gold Rush, miners stood hip deep in the ice-cold waters of the American River to find a flake of gold. Kids have it so much easier these days.
During the Folsom Pro Rodeo, children will have the opportunity to strike silver during the Silver Dollar Coin Dig.
Each night, $100 in silver coins, provided by Tri Counties Bank, will be tossed into the arena and children will be turned loose to find their fortune.
The action takes place prior the grand entry at 8:15 p.m.
For information regarding the rodeo, call the Folsom Chamber of Commerce at 985-5555 or visit folsomprorodeo.com.
